Configuration and migration of Exchange data using SnapManager

The SnapManager Configuration feature enables you to select database verification servers, move Exchange databases and transaction logs to Data ONTAP LUNs, and configure automatic event notification.

• The SnapManager Configuration wizard
  You can use the Configuration wizard to migrate Exchange databases from your local disk to Data ONTAP LUNs, so that you can make a backup copy and restore the databases by using SnapManager.
• Exchange Server storage groups and databases migration and configuration considerations
  Before you migrate your database using the Configuration wizard, consider how the different requirements for stand-alone systems and Windows clusters can impact where the SMTP and MTA queues and the report directories should reside.
• Configuration using the SnapManager control file
  SnapManager creates a control file that contains configuration information about the Exchange server. You can use the control file either to import or to export the Exchange server configuration.
• Migration of LCR-enabled databases
  You can move the databases, transaction logs, and system files with Local Continuous Replication (LCR) replicas to LUNs. You can follow the same procedure as you use for the production Storage Group for migrating the databases, transaction logs, and system files.
• Migration of CCR-enabled databases
  You can migrate Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) databases and transaction logs to a specified location to enable SnapManager to manage it. The configuration is similar to that of the production Storage Group; SnapManager internally migrates databases to the specified location on both the nodes.
• Migration of Exchange Server 2010 mailbox databases
  You can migrate the Exchange Server 2010 mailbox databases and transaction logs to a specified location to enable SnapManager to manage them.
• Guidelines for migrating to mountpoints for LUN mapping
  You can migrate an existing configuration that uses drive letters to map to Data ONTAP LUNs to a new configuration that uses volume mountpoints instead. The migration process uses SnapDrive and SnapManager.
